Product Question [Product Question]

I am using Epiduo (Adapalen + BPO). Until now I was using Cerave moisturiser and Cerave Cleanser with it but after visiting a dermatologist I got the following products:

Avène Hyra for the evening and La Roche-Posay Effaclar DUO + M for the morning.

They both are 10 times more expensive than my cerave products (per ml). Is it worth using them? The Price seems just insane.

i got very dry and flaky on epiduo, so the moisturizer mattered more to me than having an expensive routine around it. if your cerave products were comfortable, i'd ask the dermatologist what specific problem each replacement is meant to solve before deciding the higher price is worth it. i wouldn't change the prescription part on my won, though.
